Topics[edit]

Stable escidoc-core release 1.2[edit]

  • depending on test results
  • are there more interface (xsd) changes?
  • container migration cross-checking again
  • questions on interface changes:
    • CModel changes:
      • do we have to modify all existing cmodels if DC transformation needs to be supported?
      • do we have to bring in exact list of metadata records in the cmodels?

Outcome[edit]

  • pubMan new release will not be delivered on 1.2
  • container migration:
    • no need to be done manually anything, unless older versions need to be kept
  • CModel:
    • existing cmodel objects do not contain any data
      • migration will take care about the needed data modeification for the CModel
      • as long as we only use the identifiers of the CModel things are fine, no code is affected
  • no further interface changes are in, except those with the development version of 1.2

some security issues[edit]

  • privileged viewer vs. 1.1.4

Outcome[edit]

  • release is nearly ready, only a decision is needed
  • will contain fix for 776 and additional fixes in the login-form and retrieve grants via REST, scan clause

Local Administrator - OU Administrator role[edit]

Discussion and outcome

  • OUAdmin role
    • input: it is not possible to create a user account with the OU in place (due to changes in 1.2)
  • Proposal&outcome - during discussion:
    • create new UserAdmin role
      • create/modify/de-activate/activate user accounts (if user-acount is created by user who created the user-account)
    • create new OUAdmin role
        • create/modify/... org units within a parent OU (given as a scope)
        • grant / revoke OUAdmin privs for OU with same scope
    • create 2 new roles ContextOwner, ContextAdmin
      • owner: create/modify/open/close contexts (all with own context)
      • admin: modify/open/close contexts for his scope
  • related to https://www.escidoc.org/jira/browse/INFR-718
    • will 1.2 support that users who created the context are able to grant privileges for this context as well?
    • same question applies to OUs
      • Outcome: created-by are supported for ctx and ous, not for users, some policies can be created already in 1.2
